I believe this is a 1930's era Bulgarian holster. Unlike many Bulgarian holsters these were well made. Bill

Dave, I agree with Steve and Bill...Looks like your above average Bulgarian. Not so many years ago a very good Friend... Tom Armstrong... used to give one to anyone who asked!
They are certainly low dollar but yours is above average. Might bring a few bucks. Not like your average German holster though!

Probably need to post in the WTB, but where would be a good place to pick up a proper holster for a 1920 DWM or does it matter that much.,.

I think you should look for a proper 1930's Bulgarian Luger for it...

(I happen to be on the lookout for a Russian Contract 1900 Luger...but a Bulgarian would be a close second)...

Many holsters were made for the commercial lugers. Lots of US companies made them. The holster you have is as good as anything. Bill
